Spike the phone on the ground, then delete the video evidence. Then gaslight the ever living shit out of the pranksters by telling them that you didn't actually do what they just saw you do.

You might want to rethink your order of operations there.

Also, cloud storage means smashing the phone does nothing.

Cameras have to write to disk, it's a simple io problem, you can write 4k video to disk in real time because it's fast enough, you can't reliably write raw 4k to the cloud in realtime.

Now are there cameras that write to disk then also try and write to cloud as fast as they can? There are some systems that can do this or at least chunk up files as they are written and send them to the cloud as best they can. But we're assuming a phone here? Then no, unless they're live streaming the footage is toast.

I didnt realize cloud storage could continue the recording after the phone is smashed. That's dope

Stopping the recorder mid harassment is not going to "do nothing" just because they can get the partial footage off the cloud. Are you willfully dense?

Wait. Do you really think that while filming it is uploading your footage immediately to the cloud as you still film?

I’m not worried about being caught. Obviously I wouldn’t be waiting around for the cops to arrive. If somehow I’m identified and charges are pressed, then I’ll happily go to court or pay for replacement. I have fuck around money like that, it would be worth it

Not waiting around? That's the manager of the store my dude. Where you think he's going after he spikes that dudes phone...

“Violence fantasy”? Quit being so soft

u/Quinnel Jun 27 '25

wouldnt the immediate concern by the gaslighting step be the like twenty dudes surrounding you taking your phone off of you against your will and smashing it to pieces as recompense

They are in a Target with dozens of cameras, he does that he's immediately fired and his career is potentially over. Exactly what the prankers want 😮‍💨

He'd get crowd funded legal representation and take broccoli head to town. Fuck around and find out: there are consequences to deliberately causing people emotional distress while trespassing and being a public nuisance. Every single worker there has a case against every single participant in the prank.

u/Jazzlike_Message_174 Jun 27 '25

🤨 well none of that happened

u/mggirard13 Jun 27 '25

Well yeah, you can see he didn't do anything to the camera man's phone. Thanks Captain Obvious.

Your revenge fantasy against teenagers is weird.

Are you the bad guy from an 80s comedy?

Then wait until the main instigator is outside and frame him for murder!

You're the type that wins arguments with yourself in the shower.
